ABSTRACT
Our cars make our everyday life much easier. With their help, in a day full of programs, we can get anywhere on time without carrying our packages on our own. In our rushing world, there is the probability that even if we have enough time to get there somewhere, we will hurry, which leads to inattention or worse case an accident. Car manufacturers have a huge amount of research projects to install driver-assistance safety electronics into our cars that, even if they are not driving, instead of the driver, alert to an accident and help to avoid a stutter or a life-threatening accident. According to the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH), research on car manufacturers has brought significant results, as while in 1990 there were nearly 37,000 accidents involving personal injuries on the roads, in 2020 there were only 18,000 such accidents. However, in addition to these active and passive safety features, we need to be aware of and follow the written and unwritten rules of road safety. However, the number of passenger cars has increased so significantly in the last 20–25 years—but especially in the last two years due to the coronavirus epidemic—as roads are characterized by such a high degree of congestion that pedestrians and cyclists require much more attention from participants. This way it is important children receive proper education on the rules of walking or cycling at nursery school and preschool age. The aim of the study is to enumerate and present the platforms that help children to learn, know and deepen the rules of safe traffic. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
